A workman was killed and another trapped for hours when a trench collapsed on South Shore Drive in South Yarmouth on Nov. 18, 2025. The company has now been fined nearly $4.7 million for safety violations.

It's the local news roundup, where we talk with area journalists about the news making headlines this week.

Among the stories we will be talking about: a contractor working on Yarmouth’s sewer project has been fined nearly $4.7 million for safety violations; Chatham plans a significant hike in the short-term rental fee; and Barnstable photographer Steve Heaslip retires from the Cape Cod Times after 45 years.
